St Paul's Cathedral

London, Great Britain

St Paul's Cathedral is a marvel of architecture and history in London. Designed by Sir Christopher Wren, this iconic building replaced a Gothic medieval cathedral that was destroyed in the Great Fire of London in 1666. The new cathedral was constructed between 1675 and 1710 and stands as one of London's most famous landmarks, conveniently located near the Barbican.

A Storied Past

St Paul's holds a significant place in British history. It has been the site of the funerals of prominent military leaders like Lord Nelson, the Duke of Wellington, and Sir Winston Churchill. The cathedral also hosted peace services marking the end of both World Wars, making it a symbol of resilience and hope.

Architectural Wonders

The cathedral is renowned for its architectural features, including the famous Whispering Gallery. Visitors can experience the unique acoustics where a whisper against the wall can be heard clearly from the other side of the dome. St Paul's also offers breathtaking views over the city, although reaching the top requires a ticket.

Exploring the Crypt

The crypt of St Paul's is open to the public and houses the tombs of notable figures such as Nelson, Wellington, and the architect himself, Christopher Wren. It's a solemn space where history enthusiasts can pay their respects to these influential personalities.

Visiting Tips

While there's an admission charge for exploring the cathedral, visitors can enter for free during certain times. Attending one of the midday services or the daily choral evensong in the late afternoon allows entry without a fee, though participating in these services is not necessary. Note that photography is not permitted inside the cathedral.
